Matthew 3:7-10
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
And do not think you can say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.
The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

Clocking in at a clobbering 150 minutes, making less sense than an Ann Coulter rant and featuring some of the hammiest performances this side of a John Waters movie, "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" is not the rollicking good time you think it will be.
If the first "Pirates" was Depp, Bruckheimer and company making a summer action flick for quick dough and a few giggles, the sequel is even more of a paycheck job for everyone involved. Forget "Dead Man's Chest"; the movie should really be subtitled "This Time, We're Definitely in It for the Money."
And then you realize that a third (and let's all pray final) installment comes out in May. That's right, this movie isn't a sequel -- it's an extension. It's called "Pirates of the Caribbean: World's End," but maybe there's a better subtitle: "Just Give Us Your Flippin' Money Or We'll Make Another One!"

Well, as Ryan is a humbug, and I did not get the chance to see the movie, said session can not happen at present. However, I shall inform one and all as soon as I see it.

The Cobra's opinions always err on the side of cynicism... so i look forward to our session Doyle.. enjoy the movie.

I saw it last night, and for those of you who didn't like it I say "Bah!". I suppose you didn't like "The Empire Strikes Back" either. (read the following in a mocking high pitched voice) OOhhh I didn't like it because there wasn't any resolution at the end". Why don't you all grow up and learn to enjoy a movie for what it is. So what! you leave the movie wanting to know more. Thats how you're supposed to feel. Or you might have thought the movie was long. Then friggin leave! No one held a gun to your head. I thought the movie was a lot of fun. If you didn't, you are wrong. If you were expecting to be elightened by the movie, then you are dumb. Do us all a favor, and never see any movie ever again.

Doyle... get off your butt and go see it.
Jersey... only if you send me cookies.
Cobra... "Ryan is a tooly tool, so tooly that even tools call him a huge TOOL. ps - Raleigh sux" -Excerpt from Tools for Dummies. ps - call me, we'll do lunch.
Doyle... get off ones butt and go see one movie.
Jersey... where are my cookies?!?
Charlie... could i agree with anyone more? No. Thank you. To those who say, "It totally set up the third one." I say, "Yes. Just as it picked up where the first left off... It's the second movie in a trilogy... don't like that? blame the numeric system."
Andrea... we'll hafta see... I don't really wanna see much else, except maybe Cars, or Kate Beckinsale... er... Click, I guess, is the name of all that distracting dialogue surrounding her being on the screen... but I gotta go to Charlie Brown rehearsal, so we'd hafta go at 10ish... think about it... luv ya.

Everyone check out "A Prairie Home Companion." That's(!) a movie worth eight bucks.

| Lyrics of the Week |
ON THE NICKEL
by Tom Waits
("I'd like to do a new song here. This is eh, it's about downtown Los Angeles on 5th Street. And eh all the winos affectionately refer to it as The Nickel. So this is kind of a hobo's lullaby.")
sticks and stones will break my bones,
but i always will be true, and when
your mama is dead and gone,
i'll sing this lullabye just for you,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never comb their hair,
well they're lined up all around the block,
on the nickel over there.
so you better bring a bucket,
there is a hole in the pail,
and if you don't get my letter,
then you'll know that i'm in jail,
and what becomes of all the little boys,
who never say their prayers,
well they're sleepin' like a baby,
on the nickel over there.
and if you chew tobacco, and wish upon a star,
well you'll find out where the scarecrows sit,
just like punchlines between the cars,
and i know a place where a royal flush,
can never beat a pair, and even thomas jefferson,
is on the nickel over there.
so ring around the rosie, you're sleepin' in the rain,
and you're always late for supper,
and man you let me down again,
i thought i heard a mockingbird, roosevelt knows where,
you can skip the light, with grady tuck,
on the nickel over there.
so what becomes of all the little boys,
who run away from home,
well the world just keeps gettin' bigger,
once you get out on your own,
so here's to all the little boys,
the sandman takes you where,
you'll be sleepin' with a pillowman,
on the nickel over there.
so let's climb up through that button hole,
and we'll fall right up the stairs,
and i'll show you where the short dogs grow,
on the nickel over there.
